Just kidding.

I have been going here for 5 years, ever since it opened. I am currently in ninth grade. I know a lot of the reviews say it is great, while others say it was awful. I think it just depends on what you want in a school. It has smaller classes than the average elementary and junior high schools, which I personally like. Proof of this is that I practically know everyone's names in the ninth grade. The teachers are very supportive and are always willing to help you. You can actually ask them questions during class without waiting for them to answer 30 other student's questions before yours. Their sports programs are well organized. They are not extremely competitive (but still good), which makes it easier to make the team. FEAR THE SOCCER TEAM! :)
Yes, the recesses are short but that is because they have to give 10 grades their own recesses in only a few hours. The uniforms may be awful and stuffy but you get used to them. And admit it, they help students concentrate and lots of other things, like no bullying. Almost all of their school lunches are delicious, but some of them can be pretty strange (DON'T EAT THE GRILLED CHEESE!). And if you read that one person's review who talked about buying extra credit, they got rid of that. From what I have heard, the homework schedule is a bit more rigorous than that of public junior high or elementary schools. In conclusion, I think that this school is awesome in many ways.
Go eagles! (Ugh. Why did we have to be the eagles? that is SO mainstream.)
